Could this be caused by util-linux? It modified its dependencies
related to initscripts:
util-linux (2.27.1-4) unstable; urgency=medium
* Drop initscripts dependency now that update-rc.d no longer
requires it to process init scripts with LSB header dependencies.
- note that it's still likely to be installed (even under systemd)
since it's priority is required, it's just that util-linux no longer
needs to require it to be around.
* Add dependency on init-system-helpers (>= 1.29~) which contains
the previously mentioned update-rc.d fix.
- this can be dropped once init-system-helpers is always >= 1.29~.
* Drop lsb-base dependency
- strictly speaking we should have it since hwclock.sh uses
lsb-base, but initscripts will pull it in for us anyway under
sysvinit(-core) so this dependency makes no practical gain.
Dropping it avoids pulling it in when we don't need it (eg. under
systemd-sysv where hwclock.sh is masked by the systemd package).
* Add systemd-sysv as an alternative to tzdata dependency.
- tzdata was according to this changelog added for the benefit of
the hwclock.sh init script. (Not sure it's required.)
It's among the top size of debootstrap --variant=minbase packages
so might be useful to make it uninstallable on minimal containers,
which this change should accomplish (under systemd-sysv atleast).
* Finally move sysvinit-utils back to Breaks instead of Depends
- now that initscript dependency is dropped, the issue with cyclic
dependency should be no more and we can properly describe the
relation.
* Add debian/patches/build-sys-use-PKG_CONFIG.patch
- cherry-picked from upstream git, fixes crossbuilding (Closes: #811546)
